A Detective in Love by H.R.F Keating
It was six-thirty in the morning when Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens took the call that informed her that Britain's number one tennis star and media darling, the wonderfully pretty Bubbles Xingara, has been murdered in the grounds of her big country house. Harriet is now in charge of a case that will have the world's media – already massing for the start of Wimbledon out in force. But it is not the investigation that is about to explode Harriet's life, for Harriet wife and mother has fallen madly in love with a fellow officer...
I listened to the first book in this series a few weeks ago and I have been looking forward to reading this one ever since. A cleverly written mystery. Whilst I can see why this book has some negative reviews, it was an enjoyable listen and relatively short. Harriet is fighting her passion for Anselm whilst also trying to focus on the murder investigation she is supposed to be leading.
Rating 4/5

Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens is woken one morning to be told that she is leading the investigation into the death of British tennis star Bubbles Xingara which had occurred that morning.
Might have been more of an interesting tale if Martens had not be obsessed with love and sex.
A NetGalley book
